Answer 1

Walsh diagram (section AH2 Molecules)

hydride molecules (AH3), tetraatomicnonhydride molecules (AB), H2AB molecules, acetaldehyde, pentaatomic molecules (CH3I), hexaatomic molecules(ethylene)

Triatomic molecules are moleculescomposed of three atoms, of either the same or different chemical elements. Examples include H2O, CO2 (pictured) and HCN.
